LONDON. March 14. (AP).
Captain Walter O. R. Hlnchliffe
and Honorable Elsie Mackay are
the sole occupant of the Stlnson
Detrolter plane Endeavor, which
started a trans-Atlantic flight
Tuesday morning and at midnight
tonight was becoming one of the
tragic mysteries of the north At
lantic.
This became known definitely
when Major Gordon Sinclair, close
friend of Hlnchliffe and whose
whereabouts since the flight
started have been a mystery, ap
peared at Purley, the suburban
home of the British war ace. He
said that Miss Mackay was the
only passenger on the plane.
Mrs. Hlnchliffe, dry-eyed. ' but
maintaining her fortitude with
difficulty, welcomed Major Sin
clair and his wife as companions
in her vigil. Throughout the day
and evening she scarcely stirred
from the telephone over which
she momentarily hoped to hear
news of her venturesome husband.
"I will not give up hope," she
said.
"The whole thing was rather
hurriedly arranged." said Major
Sinclair in telling the story of the
start from Cranwell. "It was or
iginally intended that I should
accompany Captain Hlnchliffe,
but Miss Mackay was keen on go
ing so I gave way to her.
"At her request I agreed to be
a party to the flctitlon that I was
flying with the captain. She did
not wish her family to know any
thing about her trip, as she de
sired that they be spared anxiety.
"So far as Hlnchliffe was con
cerned, he was Indifferent as to
whether Miss Mackay or I accom
panied him."
Major Sinclair explained that
after the flight started he went
back to Grantham where the party
had spent Monday night, and then
proceeded to London He would
not reveal where he stayed in this
city, but he said he had been "ly
ing low until things got under
way."
"It was only a couple of hours
before the Endeavour started that
Miss Mackay finally decided to
fly," continued Major Sinclair. "I
had been working for a fortnight
to get the plane ready and was so
busy at that task that I did not
take much notice of the repeated
conferences which Miss Mackay
had with Captain Hlnchliffe.
"We were up all night Monday
completing the preparations, and
suddenly at 2 a. m. Tuesday I was
told that I was not going.
"Captain Hlnchliffe, Miss Mac
kay, her friend, a Miss Ries and
myself left the Hotel George at
Grantham about 4 a. m. in Miss
Mackay's car. As soon as we reach
ed the airdrome, the Endeavour
was wheeled out, the engine was
started and Hlnchliffe and Miss
Mackay climbed into the machine.
"I had made the plane complete
ly ready so there was nothing left
for them to do but to take off, I
shook hands with both of them
and wished them luck.
"The next thing I remember, I
was waving cherrlly to the En
deavour as it became a smaller
and smaller speck upon the hori
son. That was the last I saw of
them.
Now we are waiting anxiously,
but I am full of hope.
"Hlnchliffe told me many times
that he would make Philadelphia
if possible, and I think it quite
likely that the Endeavour slipped
past the watchers at Newfound
land In the fog. There was enough
petrol to last 50 hours, so he may
still be flying."
Miss Mackay was smiling as the
plane rose and seemed not in the
least worried about the outcome of
the flight. She sat beside Captain
Hlnchliffe, thus being able to help
him either by flying the machine
or by transferring gasoline to the
main tanks.
Major Sinclair said his only rea
son for "lying low" and not ear
lier revealing the Identity of the
occupants of the plane, was to
keep his promise to Miss Mackay
to maintain secrecy until the flight
was oyer. He said that she did not I
wish to worry her parents who are
in Egypt. j
